Píseň: I Will Never Be The Same

Interpret:
Melissa Etheridge
Album:
Yes I Am
So you walked with me for a while
Bared your naked soul
And you told me of your plan
How you would never let them know
In the morning of the night
You cried a long lost child
And I tried on I tried to hold you
But you were young
And you were wild


But I, I will never be the same
Oh I, I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same


Secrets of your life
I never wanted for myself
But you guarded them like a lie
Placed up on the highest shelf
In the morning of the night
When I woke to find you gone
I knew your distant devil
Must be draggin' you along


But I, I will never be the same
Oh I, I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same


And you swore that you were bound for glory
And for wanting you had no shame
But I loved you
And then I lost you
And I will never be the same


But I, I will never be the same
Oh I, I will never be the same
Caught in your eyes
Lost in your name
I will never be the same
